Great video Jim! Really solid advice on not jumping right into the weeds of exotic differences. One note; as soon as I heard that red Tempus it took me right back to my first case of snare drum "Gottahavititus"! It still has a special place in my collection.
Really nice snare drum I’m with you I made one from an old pearl all fiberglass 14” tom drum shell it’s pretty thin but I think sounds fabulous I agree to me it does have a combination of a wood and metal drum plus its just fun to do that Legend snare is killer I really enjoy your channel thx for the content
(In making this video, I missed something obvious. I added this note to the description, but I'm posting it in the comments section as well.) EDITOR'S NOTE: I may need to make a follow-up video, because I forgot one thing - such a glaring oversight that I almost want to redo this video. The goal is to get as much variety as possible from a limited number of snare drums. In making the video as it currently stands, I got caught up in the gear, in the thought that to get a different sound, you need a different drum, that buying a same or similar drum would be a mistake. Not so fast. There are many snare drums that offer a variety of sounds through head choices, tuning, et cetera. If you have such a drum, and you don't want to find yourself constantly changing heads and retuning? Get another one of those same drums, and set the two of them up differently to produce those distinct sounds. Mission accomplished!
@@aakkoin I remember reading a JR Robinson interview years ago. He talked about taking three of his signature series snare drums to studio dates, but with each one set up differently.
Good to see you back.

Yea! I read that someone has like three Ludwig Acrolytes, all with different heads and different tunings.
